Manual: The gigabeat S has hardware tone controls instead of bass/treble settings, so update the manual to reflect this. Also update the sound settings screen shot.

\section{Tone Controls}
|
||||
There is a five-band equalizer built into your \dap{} that allows you to
|
||||
control various different parameters for each band. This equalizer is
|
||||
implemented in hardware, and therefore does not tax the processor when in use.
|
||||
Rockbox also features a more advanced five-band equalizer (see
|
||||
\reference{ref:EQ}) that is implemented in software and allows more fine
|
||||
grained control, but also requires more processor time.
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{description}
|
||||
\item[Band 1 Gain.]
|
||||
This band acts as a low shelf filter that boosts or lowers all
|
||||
frequencies below a certain frequency limit, much as a ``bass''
|
||||
control found on ordinary stereo systems does. The ``gain'' parameter
|
||||
controls how much the loudness of the band is adjusted. Positive
|
||||
numbers make the EQ band louder, while negative numbers make that EQ
|
||||
band quieter.
|
||||
\item[Bands 2-4 Gain.]
|
||||
These bands act as peaking filters that boost or lower a frequency
|
||||
range centered at a certain frequency. Graphic equalizers in home
|
||||
stereos are usually peaking filters. The ``gain'' parameter controls
|
||||
how much each band is adjusted as with the the low shelf filter.
|
||||
\item[Band 5 Gain.]
|
||||
Band 5 acts as a high shelf filter, boosting or lowering all
|
||||
frequencies above a certain frequency limit, much like a ``treble''
|
||||
control found on ordinary stereo systems does. As with the other bands,
|
||||
``gain'' controls how much each band is adjusted.
|
||||
\item[Advanced Tone Control Settings.]
|
||||
This submenu allows you to change advanced parameters for each band.
|
||||
\end{description}
|
||||
|
||||
As a general guide, EQ band 1 should be used for low frequencies, EQ bands 2
|
||||
to 4 should be used for mids, and EQ band 5 should be used for highs.\\*
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Advanced Tone Control Settings}
|
||||
As in the previous menu, the ``gain'' setting controls how much the
|
||||
loudness of the band is adjusted. In addition the following parameters
|
||||
can be adjusted:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{description}
|
||||
\item[Band 1 Frequency.]
|
||||
The ``frequency'' parameter sets where the shelving starts to take
|
||||
effect. For example, a cutoff frequency of 80~Hz will adjust only very
|
||||
low frequencies. A cutoff frequency of 175~Hz, on the other hand, will
|
||||
adjust a much wider range of bass frequencies.
|
||||
\item[Bands 2-4 Frequency.]
|
||||
The ``frequency'' parameter for these bands sets the centre frequency of
|
||||
the range that is affected by the gain set.
|
||||
\item[Bands 2-4 Width.]
|
||||
This parameter sets the width of the range around the centre frequency
|
||||
that is affected by the tone control. The possible settings are
|
||||
``wide'' or ``narrow''.
|
||||
\item[Band 5 Frequency.]
|
||||
This works just as for band 1 frequency, except that it affects the
|
||||
high frequency end of the spectrum instead of the low.

Rockbox features a parametric equalizer (EQ). As the name suggests, a
|

parametric EQ lets you control several different parameters for each
|

band of the EQ. In some ways the EQ is similar to the \setting{Bass}
